Vitamins that provide antioxidant protection like C and E are not only good for your health, they are also useful for eradicating signs of premature aging like fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the renewal of skin cells.
This serum is packed with stabilized Vitamin C to give your skin the extra boost of nutrient it needs to repair itself at night. After days of lounging by the pool under the Balinese sun, my skin needed some help and I had to do some damage control.
I slapped this on religiously every night and aside from the pleasant fresh scent, this serum absorbs quickly to hydrate dried-out skin. My skin became brighter, smoother and looked healthier. The only sign of time spent under the sun was a great tan. If only that was true with every vacation.…

Contrary to popular belief, oily skin has its dry and flaky moments too just like any other skin type. Harsh soap, dry climate and acne treatments are just some of the contributing factors that dehydrate skin.
I recently had to deal with a sudden breakout arising from stress and sudden climate change and my treatment plan left my skin tight, uncomfortable and flaky. I found this at the Avene counter at the drugstore and I jumped on it. I am a fan of Avene products and I was so throughly impressed with this.
This moisturizer is specially formulated to help your skin deal with dry and harsh acne treatments. With a very high concentration of Avene thermal spring water, this …

Vacations do come with their own stress and these stresses can manifest themselves into zits that will require stronger, dryer potions which in turn add to the dryness of your skin winter. I had to deal with this while in Italy along with flaking and tightness that just took its own sweet time to get better.
This cream turned out to a real skin-saver. My parched, flaky skin immediately became hydrated and with regular use, softer and healthier. Gone was the tightness and the discomfort.
With potent extracts of peanut oil to restore the hydrolipidic layer, hyarulonic acid to increase moisture retention and alfafa to stimulate collagen production while firming and regenerating.
Slap this on day and night or anything …

Plane rides and winters can cause even the oiliest skin to dry up and fake. This was what happened during the past 2.5 weeks in Italy. My skin was dehydrated and looking tired. I picked this up at the airport and it really came in handy.
The light texture goes on smoothly, easily and doesn’t leave you with a sticky feeling which is a good quality because I tend to slap on another layer of moisturizer during the winter months and having my pores clogged is not something else I need to deal with.
With extracts of sugar cane to regulate moisture, shea butter to lock in moisture, ginseng to stimulate and refresh, olive and chestnut tree to nourish; this cream will ensure day long comfort.

Your skin repairs itself when you sleep and sometimes it needs a little bit of help; or a lot of help. Hence night creams should be an integral part of your grooming regime.
This night cream from Biotherm helps repair and treat the first signs of aging – fine lines, saggy skin and dullness. I started using this when my skin was freaking out – from zits, sun exposure and the general lack of sleep.
After 4 weeks of use, my skin looked healthier, brighter and felt firmer. The fine lines around my eyes have slowly disappeared and I have a more rested-looking complexion. With extracts of pure olive leaf concentrate and thermal plankton; this moisturizer helps repair worn out skin by stimulating the synthesis …

My lips get chapped quickly and easily, as such, lip balm is as important as bringing my wallet when I leave the house. I’ve had instances where my lips crack and start bleeding on days when I don’t have a stick of balm with me.
I like this balm because it not only protects your lips, it also soothes, conditions and repairs. My chapped, dehydrated lips were quickly hydrated and soften and with regular use, the condition of my lips improved.
I have an allergy to Petroleum Jelly and its by-products so I was glad when I found this because this is also great for sensitive lips while gliding on easily.
It’s got a traditional lipstick roll-up design so that …

In life, accidents happen and sometimes shit hits the fan. It could be at work, at home or after a skin treatment. For me, it was after a skin treatment – the laser was too harsh on my skin and I had a small spot on my nose as a reminder to not think that I know better all the time; because I don’t.
I picked this up at the store as soon as I realized the redness was not going to subside in hours; it had started flaking and was looking a tad inflamed. I applied this and hoped for the best. This turned out to be a bit of a skin saver.
After the first day, the burnt …

Even though we don’t normally write about scents/colognes, we strongly believe that smelling great should be every man’s priority. It makes or breaks an overall package the same way a bad attitude can. Have you ever met someone dressed to the nines and then realized that someone smelled funky? I have and I would rather forget it.
Details has narrowed down a list of top 6 colognes that will make that night on the town extra special. My favorite two scents from the list: Tom Ford’s Extreme (a strong, sexy scent that will last hours and hours) and Creed’s Green Irish Tweed (classic, deep and old school).
Check out the whole list here (Source: Details).

If you’re not a fan of spending hours laying in the sun; it can get old after a while, the quickest way to get some color safely is by using a self-tanning moisturizer.
I’ve been using this moisturizer for about 1 year now when I want to get some color quickly. My skin adapts to tanning and self-tanners quite well – I don’t burn or look unnatural (at least I haven’t been told so!)
This doesn’t have that overpowering tan smell a lot of other similar products do. It doesn’t smell very great but it is not something you notice once you finished application. The good thing about this is that it gradually develops color so you don’t look orange. …

I enjoy the sun and the beach; maybe a little too much. But I always slap on at least SPF 15 and reapply whenever necessary. That said, it still doesn’t change the fact that my skin gets a bashing after my week of sun and alcohol.
I bought this night cream a few weeks ago and I have been using this religiously. It glides on easily and smoothly while instantly replenishing dry skin. This is most suitable for dry and combination skin but I always need extra hydration after sun worshiping so this works.
Its vitamin rich formula of B-complex, C, E and A, minerals and exfoliating agents work hard when you sleep to repair and renew your skin. With …

Men have generally oiler skin than women with larger pores and visible shine. With humidity, temperature changes and pollution, my skin gets oily quicker than a hooker can slip off her dress. As such, I have to slap on anti-shine products so I don’t look like I just finished a 12 hour shift frying bacon and pancakes.
This anti-shine gel from Shiseido is my newest discovery. I love its gel texture so unlike traditional anti-shine serums, this doesn’t flake so you don’t have to spend extra 15 mins brushing off facial flakes.
The first thing you feel is a cool sensation courtesy of Menthol and Campor that help tighten pores without over-drying. Oil reflecting powder helps minimize the look of pores and keep skin matt and oil free for hours.
My skin instantly …

Stress, travel, partying and the general lack of sleep has been wrecking havoc on my skin and I’ve been breaking out like it was puberty all over again. That part of puberty is not something I desire to relive. However, you got to do the best you can and I started war on my zits – I won but the dry, flaky, parched skin that was a result of my zit-removing regime was uncomfortable and unsightly.
I just finished a jar of this moisturizer from Shiseido and it took my dehydrated skin and showered it with moisture and protected it from external aggressions. This fresh smelling moisturizer absorbs quickly to treat rough, damaged skin. My skin felt softer, smoother and …
